To our European friends from your friends in Britain,
We
are horrified by the actions and words of the brexit government. We
want you to know that Britain is not uniting behind brexit, whatever
they may say. When brexit politicians insult and threaten Europe, they
do not speak for us. This is not our brexit (#notourbrexit).
There
is no majority, no mandate, for what the brexit government is doing
now. Those of us who voted to leave were lied to and promised things
that cannot be delivered. And 48% of us voted to remain.
Many
in Britain, maybe even the majority, believe Britain is better off in
the EU than outside. We value the achievements of the EU. We see it as a
force for good. In particular we love the freedom of movement it
offers. We are thankful for the way in which people from all over Europe
have come to Britain and enriched our culture. We are devastated at the
impact of brexit on them too.
Whatever
happens in the months and years ahead, please understand that many
people in Wales are not the naive isolationists that our government's
actions imply.
